Winner of the design Oscar! The rice paddy homestays around Suzhou are breathtakingly beautiful

Qushui Shanwan Resort is located in Shanwan Village, Wujiang District, Suzhou City, adjacent to Zhongjiadang Lake, and surrounded by rice fields, metasequoia forests, and reed marshes, like a natural ink painting. It is recommended to drive to "Qushui Shanwan·Zhiran Village Preparation Office" for navigation. The parking lot is free and convenient. It is only a 1.5-hour drive from Shanghai and Hangzhou, making it an excellent choice for short trips in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.
This is not only a resort, but also an architectural art gallery! The resort was jointly created by the top teams of goa (Grand Ocean Architect) and Wanjing Design, inspired by the awning boats and misty rain of Jiangnan. The black corrugated roof is like a group of boats parked on the shore. The Metasequoia Residence Restaurant won the Architizer A+Awards, the "Oscar of Architecture," with its square cone shape. The rooms built near the water seem to be in a cabin, and the 0.3m sunken design allows people to be at zero distance from the lake view.
The resort has a total of 63 themed rooms, belonging to different areas such as Boathouse Homestay, Yashe Lake View Room, and Quye Family Room. The most distinctive is the Boathouse Homestay: only 13 waterfront rooms, with curved roofs like awning boats, some room types with private hot spring pools and courtyards, and floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the lake. High-end configuration: international brand bedding, smart home, high-end washing and care products, and details show quality.
Qushui Shanwan is not just a resort, but an immersive narrative about the Jiangnan water town. Here, the architecture is poetry, the scenery is painting, and the three meals a day are all about the fireworks of the world. Whether it is a relaxing trip to enjoy the lake and mountains alone, or a happy time with family and friends, this land can always use its gentleness and abundance to heal every heart that yearns for nature.
